Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse – new demons trailer, DLC details and schedule
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Videos | 4 Comments
Atlus has readied a new Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse trailer focusing on the game’s demons. We have it below.
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse features over 450 demons, the most in the series thus far. They’re based in various mythologies and can be used to fight, fuse, or recruit.
Here’s a little more information on demons from Atlus:
When encountering demons in Tokyo such as the fabulous Napaea or strong Centaur, players can fight, negotiate, or flee. While annihilating every single demon may be the knee jerk reaction, negotiating with them opens up a wealth of options that can greatly benefit the party. Choosing to talk to demons opens up a dialogue tree that gives players to opportunity to recruit them or receive items/bonuses. A successfully recruited demon can be summoned to fight alongside the protagonist, but if negotiations fail demons will happily tear you to shreds.
Once a demon has been added to the party, they’ll gain experience, new abilities, and stronger attributes with every victory in battle. The protagonists can also learn powerful new skills from demons that level up, but that’s not even the best part about demon collection. Using the Cathedral of Shadows, monsters can be fused together to create even stronger ones! Mix and match or use recommended formulas to create the demon of your dreams (or nightmares)!
Aside from today’s new video, Atlus has sent out details about a ton of DLC lined up for Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse. Find all of the information and full schedule after the break.
